Neurobite Technologies creates biodegradable, implantable neural probes that record brain activity and deliver targeted stimulation for stroke recovery and drug‑resistant epilepsy. The transient devices dissolve after therapy, eliminating explant surgery and enabling wireless, closed‑loop monitoring and treatment in a single minimally invasive procedure.

Problem
Stroke survivors often require prolonged rehabilitation and may need multiple invasive procedures when recovery stalls, while patients with drug‑resistant epilepsy must undergo repeated invasive monitoring to locate seizure foci, exposing them to surgical risks and extended hospital stays.
Solution
Neurobite Technologies develops biodegradable, implantable neural probes that can both record neural activity and deliver targeted stimulation to affected brain regions. The probes are fabricated from transient electronics that safely dissolve after a therapeutic period, eliminating the need for device explantation and reducing chronic foreign‑body response. By providing patient‑specific, minimally invasive monitoring and stimulation, the system supports neuroplasticity after stroke and enables precise seizure‑onset mapping for epilepsy treatment. Data are transmitted to external hardware for real‑time analysis, allowing clinicians to adjust therapy without additional surgeries. The approach integrates into existing care pathways, aiming to shorten recovery times and improve long‑term outcomes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are neurosurgeons, neurologists, and rehabilitation centers treating post‑stroke patients and clinicians managing drug‑resistant epilepsy who require safe, implantable monitoring and stimulation solutions.
Features
- Fully biodegradable neural probe constructed from transient electronic materials that dissolve after use
- Integrated recording and stimulation capabilities within a single implant for closed‑loop therapy
- Low‑profile, flexible design that minimizes tissue damage and chronic glial scarring
- Wireless data transmission to external monitoring equipment for real‑time analysis
- Designed for single‑procedure implantation, removing the need for later surgical explantation
